Chords

dirty for uke. Easy chords on uke and such. Ignore 7s and 9s if it helps. | = dividers indicating equal lengths of time. Useful for gauging rhythm, if'n you need it. If not needed, ignore it. Also, fair warning, chords may seem to be placed a tad off sometimes, but that's in an effort to maintain the syncopation of the lyrics. [Intro] |G|G| [Verse 1]
|Gmaj7           Cmaj7                      F9|
You’re not at all who I thought I was before

|Gmaj7           Cmaj7                      F9|
So who’s the man standing on your bedroom floor?

|Bm7                    Em7
Calmly putting on his shoes

Bm7             B7        Cmaj7|
Softly shutting tight the door

|F9          G        F9        Em7|
Crossing an ocean to be by the sea

|Cm             Gm             Dsus4       D7|
Leaving you behind cause he’s leaving with me
[Chorus 1]
         |Gmaj7 Cmaj7               Gmaj7 Cmaj7|
You  are not            who  I thought

         |Gmaj7 D    Em(7)                  A7    Cm|
You are not who I thought I was when I met you

          |Gmaj7 Cmaj7           Gmaj7 Cmaj7|
So who am I            to you now?

       |Gmaj7 D  Em(7)              A9    Cm(maj7)|
Who am I     now that I cannot forget    you?

         |Gmaj7  F9            Gmaj7  Dsus4 D7|
You are not        who I thought               I was
[Verse 2]
|Gmaj7          Cmaj7                          F9|
This guy’s disguise, dressing to repress his core

|Gmaj7          Cmaj7                       F9|
Whose are the feet tiptoeing across the floor?

|Bm7                            Em7
He’s taking off his shirt and pants

Bm7              B7           Cmaj7|
And sliding underneath the sheets

|F9              G           F9               Em7|
Laying down the law of what dreams can be dreamed

|Cm           Gm                 Dsus4        D7|
I’m sound asleep while you’re sleeping with him
[Chorus 2]
         |Gmaj7 Cmaj7              Gmaj7 Cmaj7|
You are not            who I thought

         |Gmaj7 D    Em(7)                  A7    Cm|
You are not   who I thought I was when I met    you

          |Gmaj7 Cmaj7           Gmaj7 Cmaj7|
So who am I            to you now?

       |Gmaj7 D  Em(7)              A9    Cm(maj7)|
Who am I     now that I cannot forget    you?

         |Gmaj7  F9            Gmaj7    N.C./D|
You are not        who I thought               I was
[Outro]
|Gmaj7 Cmaj7     F9|
                   I was

|Gmaj7 Cmaj7     F9|
           [I was] I was

|Gmaj7 Cmaj7             F9|
            [I was, I...] I was

|Gmaj7 Cmaj7     F9|
            Was  Was

|Gmaj7 Cmaj7     F9|
Oh!   Oh!   Oh! Oh!

|Gmaj7 Cmaj7     F9|
             Oh!
|G| [Other vocal ornamentation in the outro is cool too. If you check the spectacular live version at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-9bJRTZ_eZ8 you can hear that he mostly leaves it out. This is just a transcription of what I heard in the official audio at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-9bJRTZ_eZ8)
